- Title
Including interpersonal events on hassle and uplift scales: verification employing global and molecular events.

- Abstract
A recent hassle and uplift study indicated that interpersonal events were generally missing from scales measuring these concepts—a finding consistent with the daily diary literature. This paper addresses two shortcomings of the hassle and uplift study. First, this research controlled for individual differences within its methodology. Second, it adhered more closely to diary research by examining the inclusion of interpersonal events at a molecular level (i.e. specific types of events). By employing university student participants (n = 289) the study sought to examine if interpersonal daily hassles and uplifts, at a global and molecular level, would predict stress and well-being over and above individual differences and non-interpersonal events. One of four distress and well-being outcomes was improved in the global and all four in the molecular stepwise regression analyses. Weight of evidence suggests that interpersonal events are important inclusions on hassle and uplift scales. The anomalous global and molecular findings are also discussed.
